Sunam Udham Singh Wala: Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, on Tuesday, said that if General Dyer was responsible for the Jallianwala massacre then why not the Badals for firing on innocent and peaceful protesters in Bargari case.
While addressing a huge gathering here at grain market in Sunam, CM Channi said that our great revolutionary Shaheed Udham Singh had waited for years to avenge the massacre of Jallianwala Bagh where hundreds of innocent people were killed by the Britishers on the orders of General Dyer.
CM Channi said that unarmed Sikhs who were peacefully chanting hymns were killed in the firing in Bargari case and son-father duo Sukhbir Singh Badal and Parkash Singh Badal, leaders of Akali Dal, are solely responsible for this incident.
Saluting the contribution of Shaheed Udham Singh in the freedom struggle, the CM Channi said that his head bows in reverence for this land which has produced the great revolutionary Shaheed Udham Singh and he was also feeling honoured that the memorial at Sunam Udham Singh Wala has come up during the tenure of his government adding that he was the Tourism Minister at that time and Daman Thind Bajwa approached him urging the approval of the memorial which led to the construction of this memorial.
CM Channi said that his government would soon unveil the statue of Sher-e-Punjab Maharaja Ranjit Singh at village Badrukhan near Sangrur city as the preparations were already in full swing.
